The bridge on Route 233 that spans Sherman Creek in Tyrone Township, Perry County, has been named in honor of Landisburg native Jason Frye, Senator Greg Rothman (R-34) announced today.
Jason Frye attended Mt. Zion Lutheran Church and graduated from West Perry High School as well as Cumberland Perry Vocational Technical School before enlisting in the Marine Corps. He sought military service to live out his values of faith, family, and friends.
Lance Corporal (LCpl) Frye was assigned to the Golf Company “Raiders” 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and was killed while conducting combat operations near Fallujah, Iraq.
“LCpl Frye’s desire to serve, his commitment to protect our national security, and to secure freedom for others is truly humbling,” Rothman said. “I’m deeply grateful for Jason’s selflessness and I trust that the Lance Corporal Jason Frye Memorial Bridge will stand as a visual reminder of Jason’s life, heroism, and sacrifice,” he continued. “We vow to always remember LCpl Frye and to keep his family and friends in our prayers.”
